Xenios Anastasia Resort and Spa

A really nice hotel, offering enchanting landscapes. They serve really good variety of food. The pool is great also the pool par. On weekends they organize a Greek night which is really good. The only minus is the beach...maybe something should be done to improve it. Everything else is perfect!

We arrived late into the evening on our first day, and were provided with a room close by the reception which was small but adequate, the only disappointment was they gave us twin room rather than double , despite us being married Shocking that Tui, expect you to specify this! The wonderful staff, did everything they could within 24 hours to provide us with a double bed in a different room I much preferred our original room but we asked and the very kind staff did what they could so we could be comfortable l. The hotel is perfectly situated on the coast with many different beaches to enjoy, if you have a car this is easier! We stayed half board and we were very delighted with the quality of the food everyday, the chef and restaurant staff work extremely hard to keep everyone happy! Thank you to everyone we really enjoyed our stay!

A deeply disappointing experience - not worthy of 5 stars We stayed at this hotel as a family, expecting a relaxing and enjoyable holiday experience worthy of its 5-star rating. Unfortunately, what we encountered was far from what was promised, and we left feeling disappointed and misled. The beach was one of the biggest letdowns. It was dirty, completely covered with large, sharp rocks, and filled with sea urchins even in the shallow areas. Our daughter stepped on one, which was a painful and dangerous experience. The beach was unmaintained, with piles of seaweed left untouched for several days, and even after cleaning, it remained uninviting. The sunbeds were old and damaged, and there were no umbrellas or proper beach facilities available. The only shade was under some olive trees, which was somewhat pleasant, but walking barefoot was impossible due to thorns scattered everywhere, more like walking on farmland than a beach. The water itself was nice, but that alone is not enough. Food was average. Breakfast options were the same every day, and the dining area was poorly organized. Long queues were a constant issue, and replenishment of food was slow. Staff often seemed to intentionally delay bringing out new food, even when it was clear that items had run out. The beach bar was operated by only one person, resulting in waiting times of 15-20 minutes for even a simple drink. Reception staff were kind and welcoming, which was a rare positive. However, the condition of the rooms was appalling. We had a serious issue with ants crawling everywhere inside backpacks, clothes, beds, and all over the room. Cobwebs and spiders were also present. There was no kettle for coffee in the morning, and the mini fridge barely functioned, with broken shelves that were "repaired" using wooden branches, something we've never seen in a so-called luxury hotel. Another shocking issue was the lack of drinking water. We were given two small bottles upon arrival and nothing more, which is unacceptable for a 5-star property. The air conditioning was weak and took forever to cool the room. To make matters worse, there were no mosquito nets on the doors, so sleeping with the door open meant being covered in bites by morning. The hotel grounds were not maintained properly. In the mornings, plastic cups, cigarette butts, and trash were scattered throughout the complex and remained there well into the day. It was also clear that the hotel is understaffed, especially in housekeeping and maintenance. Parking space was plentiful, which was helpful but sadly, one of the very few things that actually met expectations. In conclusion, this hotel falls dramatically short of a 5-star standard. At best, it deserves 2 or 3 stars. It’s a shame because with proper management and maintenance, the place has potential. But as it is now, I cannot recommend it and would not return.

Not a 5-star hotel and you will pay a higher price for tax (€15/night), it's at most a 3-star hotel. The biggest shock was having our all-inclusive wristbands taken away on the last day at 11:00 AM, right after breakfast and checking out of the room. We had to wait for our airport transfer until 6:45 PM without any access to food or drinks. We could have paid €24 per person to keep the all-inclusive option for those few hours, but we declined and instead went to town in the afternoon for a pizza. We have been to many all inclusive places around the world and it is the first time such thing happened to us. Rooms are visibly cleaned, but surfaces require wiping with wet wipes – only then are they truly clean. Almost every room had some kind of issue. In our room, the hairdryer didn’t work. In our friends’ rooms, the fridge and TV were broken, and in another room a few things also didn’t work. Only after the tour operator's representative got involved did the hotel staff actually take care of it. When I asked personally about fixing the hairdryer and whether it would be done that day, they just said “possibly.” But after we complained to the rep, it was handled immediately. Our friends even got their room changed. In the main building there was hot water, but in the adjacent building where our friends stayed, the water was lukewarm at best, and the room was very cold and damp – despite it being the end of May. Food was okay but repetitive. For more demanding guests, the choice will be limited and definitely not up to 5-star standards. Due to the small number of guests, the Greek night event was cancelled. On the plus side, it’s quiet here (at least in the olive grove area, where you can lie down and read a book). The nearest small town is a 45-minute walk away, and there are no buses. The only options are renting a car or taking a taxi. To sum up, this hotel leaves a very average impression. I wouldn’t recommend it and I wouldn’t return. You can find something better for a similar price, for example in Possidi, just 10 minutes away by car, where there is a beautiful beach for sunsets and at least some infrastructure. The beach at Anastasia is rocky, and because it's located on the first finger of the Chalkidiki peninsula, it's extremely windy. At 23°C it was impossible to enjoy a pleasant swim. We only managed to sunbathe and swim later at Orange Beach / Paradise Beach on Sithonia, where, despite similar temperatures, it wasn’t as windy and felt much nicer. One big plus was the Rainbow Tours representative, Ms. Magdalena, who organized everything perfectly and solved every problem. Without her, the stay could have become unbearable. Thanks to her, it was okay – but as I mentioned before, this hotel is only worth it if you find a really good deal, like €800 per couple with a flight from Poland. Otherwise, it’s just not worth spending more on this place.

My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. The cleanliness was at the lowest level possible – the room was dirty, the sheets hadn’t been changed, and the shared areas were poorly maintained. The service was just as bad: the staff was unfriendly and showed no care for our needs. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. A terrible experience I will never repeat.
